Magnetic Level Gauge 2. INSTALLATION 2.1. PRIOR CONDITIONS Ensure that all safety regulations are observed, in particular those relating to hazardous areas. As far as inherent safety is concerned, check that the classification of the instrument corresponds to the classification required at the installation site. IMPORTANTE NOTE: In order not to disturb the magnetic coupling an area, of about 200mm free from any magnetic component, must be provided all around the indicator unit extension..

2.2. GENERAL

2.4. COMMISSIONING

This equipment must only be handled empty, with all essential precautions taken to avoid impact or major stresses, which would be likely to alter its geometry and damage internal measuring devices, or the contact pattern of the connecting component seals. The various parts must be connected without engendering any mechanical or other stresses, other than those provided for when installing the equipment, and sealing the connection. Under no circumstances must the equipment be used as a support or for mounting any part or component not originally provided for. Welding is prohibited. If welded connections or fastenings are required by the equipment definition, these must be produced by qualified personnel, using recognized operating procedures and the required materials, meeting current standards. Grinding, cutting or heating are prohibited on any parts of the equipment which are subject to pressure. Make the connections using seals suitable for the fluid contained and the type of connection required. For flanges, make sure the seals used are new, compatible with the seal contact pattern and the service pressure and temperature. Use standard fastenings which match the flange rating and service conditions required by the type of seal and the process.

2.3. HIGH / LOW TEMPERATURES PROCESSES • For heat-protected instruments, let the indicator (flaps or slider housing) free from any heat protection.

• For very low temperatures processes, heat protection should be applied up the external face of the anti-frost option window.

• Following the receipt and before mounting, check first if the float is not locked in the lower part of the equipment body by a wood or plastic rod, inserted in the lower connection pipe. If existing remove this rod and check that the float moves freely in the chamber before erecting. • Prior to operate the unit, make sure that the lines have been bleeded and that they are free from any solid particles ( metallic or non metallic particles). The instrument must be mounted 100% vertically. Gradually build up the pressure while checking that it does not exceed the maximum operating pressure rated for the unit. • During the first commissioning procedure make sure that the magnetic slider follows the level changes. If necessary, magnetically couple the follower to the float, by performing a bleeding operation followed by a new filling operation. •Ensure that the rated dimensions of the coupling flanges match those of the instrument and that the pipes are sufficiently rigid and properly secured in order to prevent vibration being transmitted to the instrument. •After verifying the condition of the seal contact pattern, tighten the bolts in several stages (see fig.3), using appropriate tools, torque or pneumatic wrench and respecting the torque settings recommended by the seal manufacturer.

HEAT PROTECTION

• If any Orientation of the reading system is needed, take any precautions to slide the heat shield stripe too.

Magnetic Level Gauge 4. FITTING

5. OPERATION

• Fit the instrument into the pipe work/on the tank, inserting appropriate seals (not supplied) between the flanges. Ensure that the coupling flanges are parallel to those on the instrument and that the distance between centers is suitable in order to avoid strain other than that needed to provide sealing. • Tighten the bolts to obtain a sealed joint (retighten after a period of operation if necessary). When fitting the instrument with PTFE lining, special precautions must be taken as PTFE is readily distorted when cold; the recommended tightening torques below should not be exceeded: ND15: lONm ND2O:2ONm ND5O:4ONm ND8O:5Onm

SAFETY WITH REGARD TO PRESSURE This pressurized equipment is part of a unit, so the integrator must fit the installation with safety devices (valves, rupture disk, sensor,…) to protect the equipment against the risk of excess pressure. The opening pressure of these devices must equal the maximum allowable pressure (PS) of the equipment. These mechanisms must also allow evacuation of full-flow steam under rated calculated conditions. The exhaust must be piped freely and without danger to personnel or the environment. The integrator must also provide a device for measuring residual pressure in the equipment (pressure gauge …) and a bleeder (piped if the product so requires), to guarantee the safety of personnel working on the equipment. Isolation valves are recommended to be installed between the equipment and the unit to which it is mounted, so that maintenance operations can be performed. Any other way (or design) may be achieved if they provide a acceptable safety level in accordance with the Directive 97/23/EC and/or present standards

Important note: The PTFE gasket must have the same dimensions than the level gauge flange raised face and perfectly centered before tightening. ESSENTIAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS • Instruments must be mounted vertically in rigidly fixed pipelines/tank connections • Sudden changes of pipe section at inlet or fittings that cause violent flow disturbances must be avoided. • Care must be taken to avoid inducing torsion stress on instrument when installing into the pipeline/ on the vessel. • Prior to installation ensure pipelines are flushed/drained to ensure they are free from any solid particles & pressure. • Ensure pipelines are fully primed before commencing normal use. • Valves must be opened or closed progressively to avoid shock/vibration. • Do not exceed maximum working pressure as stated on the label. • Only use with the fluid/gas stated on the label. • Solvents must not be used to clean the protective flaps box cover. • Do not exceed min/max. Working temperature as stated in manual. For heat-protected instruments, let the indicator free from anyprotection. Check regularly for its correct status. Periodically replace the indicator as needed. • Do not subject meter to sudden/extreme changes of temperature. • The instrument must be regularly inspected for corrosion & wear. Page 8

SAFETY WITH REGARDS TO TEMPERATURE As far as this pressurized equipment is a part of an unit, all required measures regarding risks induced by temperature (regarding working personnel and the type of the material around according to the device’s specification) shall be taken by the integrator. For example, a kind of protection could be achieved, by the insulation of warm components, by using protection devices for access, or using any other devices suitable with the site of the unit and standards in force. Do not either subject the instrument to significant temperature variations or fire exposure. OPENING AND CLOSING OF PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT Prior to any action on pressurized equipment, the suitability of pressure and temperature conditions with thought operations must be checked by the permitted and qualified technician. Regarding equipments fitted with alarm switches, use shall be made with care: voltage, current, devices (or security devices) controlled by theses switches… Appropriate tools must be used when stripping parts to get access to the pressurized equipment. Refer to drawings or appropriate instruction note. Gaskets could be replaced if needed, check for bolt tightening… Security rules must be checked (even for new devices) by the operator before pressurize. Operating conditions must comply with the instructions given. This equipment must not contain any fluid other than that (or those) for which it is designed. It is strictly prohibited to make any temporary or permanent modification, or to perform any operation likely to alter the physical, mechanical or metallurgical characteristics of any part, without the manufacturer's prior written agreement. A danger analysis has been performed, in accordance with appendix I of Directive 97/23/EC, based on the information provided. Any change with respect to this information, likely to call into question the safety of using the equipment, can only be made outside the manufacturer's responsibility. Before commissioning, the operator must make sure that the safety regulations applicable to pressurized equipment are respected and that the connected components work properly. This equipment is designed for static loads appropriate for the device's own weight and the specific stresses due to pressure and temperature as defined in the specifications.
